What Nathan Rourke’s release means for Patriots QB Bailey Zappe

Bailey Zappe is the last man standing from the New England Patriots’ 2023 quarterbacks room.

Malik Cunningham was signed to the Baltimore Ravens last season. Meanwhile, Mac Jones was traded in free agency, and Nathan Rourke was released on Monday.

Zappe-Mania is no longer running wild, and the former fourth-round draft pick out of Western Kentucky is clinging like a hair on a biscuit in a much-improved quarterbacks room ahead of the 2024 season.

Is the end coming for Zappe? That’s the immediate question following the release of Rourke.
